Château d'Ars, Medieval castle in Ars, France.

The castle features an L-shaped structure with slate-tiled roofs, high dormer windows, and ornate arched doorways decorated with intricate stone sculptures.

Initially constructed in the 17th century, the castle belonged to the Bremond d'Ars family after Jeanne d'Ars married Guillaume de Bremond in 1340.

The castle preserves architectural elements from different periods, including stone staircases with wrought iron railings and wooden fireplaces from medieval times.

The property contains agricultural buildings and vaulted stone galleries that were previously used as wine and cognac cellars.

During the 1651 siege of Cognac, Guillemette, wife of Jean-Louis de Brémond d'Ars, managed the castle defense and created a canal to drain surrounding marshes.
